NO MOVE TO REDUCE THE RETIREMENT AGE OF GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES, NOR SUCH A PROPOSAL DISCUSSED OR CONTEMPLATED AT ANY LEVEL IN THE
GOVERNMENT: DR JITENDRA SINGH

Posted On: 26 APR 2020 7:02PM by PIB Delhi

Strongly
refuting the reports in a section of media that Government has moved a proposal
for reducing the age of retirement of government employees to 50 years, Union
Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North
Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions,
Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh categorically stated here today that
there is no such move to reduce the retirement age nor has been such a proposal
discussed or contemplated at any level in the government.

Dr Jitendra Singh said, there are certain motivated elements
which have been over the last few days, time and again planting such
disinformation in a section of media and attributing it to the government sources
or DoP&T. He said, each time a prompt rebuttal is sought to be made in
order to clear the confusion in the minds of stakeholders. He said, it was
unfortunate that at a time when the country is going through Corona crises and
the entire world is praising Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi for his proactive
handling of the pandemic, there are certain elements and vested interests which
try to underplay all the good work done by the Government by planting such
media stories.

On the contrary, right from the beginning of the emergence of
the Corona challenge, Government and the DoP&T have, from time to time
taken prompt decisions to safeguard the interests of the employees. For
example, he said, even before the lockdown was officially announced, DOPT had
issued an advisory for the offices to work with “absolutely necessary or
minimum staff”. Even though the essential services were exempted from this
guideline, DOPT had issued directions to exempt the “Divyang employees even
from the essential services”.

Considering the constraints of the lockdown, he recalled that
DOPT had postponed the last date for filling of the Annual Performance
Appraisal Report (APAR) by the government officials.

At
the same time, he referred to the UPSC’s decision to reschedule the dates of
IAS/Civil Services interview/personality test and also announced that the Civil
Services Preliminary Test will be done after May 3rd. Similarly, on
the same line, SSC has also postponed its process of recruitment.

As for the Department of Personnel in the Ministry of
Personnel, Dr Jitendra Singh said that last week there was fake news that the
government had decided to impose a 30% reduction in the pension and discontinue
pensions for those who are above the age of 80. However, contrary to this, the
truth is that on the 31st of March there was not a single pensioner whose
pension did not deposit in his account. Not only this, services of the Postal
Department were sought to deliver the pension amount at the residence of the
pensioners, whenever required.

As for the Department of Personnel, in the last four weeks,
the Ministry of Personnel has had Video Conference consultations for Pensioners
and Senior Citizens across 20 cities where pulmonary advice was given by
experts like Dr Randeep Guleria, Director (AIIMS). Similarly, Yoga Sessions on
Webinar are also being organised.(Release ID: 1618462)
